Cold iron could be obtained from the anvil found in the Breaking the Storm event area. A piece of heated iron also cooled down into this item after forged 20 times using.

It could be infinitely forged into iron rivets at the anvil, providing a set of iron rivets per action. If heated in the nearby furnace, it would become heated iron and provide two sets of rivets per action, roughly doubling the rate the experience.

One forging action took 3.6 seconds and at 99 Smithing yields 54.4 base Smithing experience. During the event, there was 10% boost to the experience and, for the first 125 daily skilling actions in the area, the base experience was doubled.

This item could not be used at anvils or furnaces outside of the event area.

Any remaining cold iron was removed after the beginning of 10 July 2019.
